But most cities don’t capture information about the full range of sources of this powerful greenhouse gas. In 2020, a team led by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University, measured methane emissions from various sources across the city of Montreal.</p> Mon, 12 Dec 2022 21:16:53 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 288571 at /newsroom Peter Douglas /newsroom/peter-douglas Fri, 03 Dec 2021 23:03:27 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 283696 at /newsroom Methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells underestimated /newsroom/channels/news/methane-emissions-abandoned-oil-and-gas-wells-underestimated-327816 <p><i>Bubbles of methane gas in water around an unplugged </i><i>oil/gas well in Pennsylvania</i><i>.

Et si on pouvait transformer l’électricité en gaz naturel renouvelable? C’est exactement ce que propose de faire une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, en collaboration avec l’entreprise Xebec Adsorption.</p> Wed, 17 Oct 2018 15:06:32 +0000 Justin Dupuis 90464 at /newsroom
